WPIAL Alum Q&A – Courtney Patterson

April 4, 2016

Last week, the spring season of WPIAL Alum Q&A commenced with a profile of a baseball standout. This week, the focus shifts to the ladies, with former McKeesport and current St. Vincent College softball player Courtney Patterson. Patterson was a stalwart during a very successful run for the Tigers between 2011-2014. As a sophomore in 2012, the infielder helped guide her squad to an 8-4 mark in Class Quad-A Section 2. The following season, McKeesport was flawless in section action, as the Tigers boasted a 12-0 mark, with a record of 17-5 overall. That season, the team also scored a first-round playoff triumph, 11-10, against Baldwin.

West Mifflin banged out 11 hits and had 19 base runners but struggled to get hits when they needed them the most, in dropping their first AAA Section 3 game of the season to the much improved Ringgold Rams Thursday afternoon at West Mifflin High School. Titans senior, Amber Cook, led the way with three hits, including an RBI double that knocked home Tiana Sekowski in the 3rd inning which, at the time, cut the Ram lead to 3-2. Sekowski reached base in four of her five plate appearances and had two stolen bases. But, Ringgold would score two more runs in the top of the 4th inning to extend the lead to 5-2. The Titans would threaten but not score in the 4th, 5th and 6th innings as they stranded two base runners in each inning.

PIAA Approves 6 Classes for Football, Hoops, Baseball & Softball

October 8, 2015

Are you ready for six classifications in Pennsylvania high school football? And boys basketball? And girls basketball? And baseball? And softball? Six classifications in all of those sports will be a reality in the 2016-17 school year. That was the gigantic news that came out of a PIAA board of directors meeting Wednes day in Mechanicsburg. Heading into the meeting, the main topic on the agenda was supposed to be a final vote on the expansion of classifications in football from four to six. The PIAA had already passed that in two other votes, and needed only to pass one more vote before going into effect for the 2016-17 season. That proposal easily passed by a 26-4 vote. But there was more big news to come.
